Date & Time: 18 August, 2001, 01.15
Seeing: 5 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. 
Location of site: Annen, The Netherlands - 53N, 6E
Site classification: Village backyard
Sky darkness: 4.5 <Limiting magnitude>
Bino: Leica 10x42 Trinovid, semi-handheld
Magnification: 10x		 Bino observing doesn't do justice to this beautiful double. I can be seen and split, but is a bit faint and shows as an average double.
With the C11 however this is a real showpiece. The colors are beautiful, yellow and blue. I gave this one a rating 2 for the C11 on another occasion, now I will promote it to rating 1.
Rating: 3

Location of site: Lake Oswego, Oregon
Site classification: Suburban
Sky darkness: 4.2 <Limiting magnitude>
Conditions: First Quarter + 5 days
Binoculars: 10x50 Simmons Binoculars		 Est PA 170d or 350d
Dim double near the threshold of perception on this moon lit evening.  Definite though dim separation. The double forms an equilateral
triangle with Beta and Gamma Lyrae.

Both the binocular list and the Astro League list have this double as STT 525.  Checking the WDS, I believe it is more properly SHJ 282 AC.
